LinkGrand - one of those PTC sites that pays less than a cent (Non-Bux)

I'm not a fan of PTC sites that give such low rewards. Why? Because that means that you need to have a ridiculous way of gaining Direct referrals. HOW DO YOU DO THAT?!?!

This blog was supposed to help me get some referrals. So far, I've got NONE from this website. Obviously it's only been 3/4 days since I've opened this site, but still... I'd like to know how some people seem to garner SO MANY Direct Referrals!

Whatever, these websites are ok if people sign up for them. So if you are reading this, please be my direct referral. Otherwise, check out my post on NeoBux (Click here) and the one on OnBux (here).

Alrighty, otherwise LinkGrand is pretty cool, it's a well documented, respected, paying site. But I'm not into the whole $0.0001 thing. 

I'm sad that my blog sucks :(

It's not even searchable on Google...

So I've been checking out LinkGrand for a few minutes now and I must admit that it's got it's merits!

The best thing I've discovered is that it is EXTREMELY convenient! Unlike some PTC sites, when you click on an Ad, it doesn't open in a new window but goes directly to the Ad. The convenient part is that after the countdown finishes you simply "click here for credit" and after you click, it tells you "Account Credited.
Click here to return to Member Area."

Strangely, I find that far more convenient and user-friendly (and time-efficient) than other methods (even NeoBux's method that opens a new window or tab).

I really like LinkGrand after using it and Highly Recommend it!

SCAM ALERT! INFINITYBUX is officially terminated from my PTC experience!

So here's the deal:

I decide to take them up on their referrals offer - $0.25 per referral - just to see how it is to have a rented referral.

They have this to say about transferring money from your main balance to your purchasing balance (purchasing balance is used to rent referrals, etc.):

"You can convert earnings from your balance to your purchase balance. Your purchase balance can not be converted back."

But there's a CATCH. I got this message:

"Cannot transfer this amount
You should transfer at least your payout minimum ($10)."

I have to make $10 before I can rent a $0.25 referal!?!? That didn't make sense so did some digging.

Here are my findings:

1. My favorite PTC site, http://ptc-investigation.com/, identified "infinitybux" as a "BuxHost site." 

In their own words:

For those of you that don't know, buxhost sites have a high scam rate. See our list at the bottom for more info. Click on the site name to see more info about the site. [taken from http://ptc-investigation.com/buxhost.aspx]

 They identified it as a BuxHost here:

 That was enough for me. I'm out of infinitybux. I don't trust them at all. This guy has different complaints:

2. Beware of Infinitybux, removed from recommended programs

Sooo, that's that!

No more infinitybux, I don't recommend it. In fact I insist that anybody who reads this spread the word that infinitybux is either a scam or a crappy bux site (What kind of bux site requires you to earn $10 before you can rent referrals?!) compared to NeoBux and OnBux.

BEWARE OF INFINITYBUX, it's definitely sketch, don't waste your time!
